    Equivalent weight of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] acting as an oxidant in acidic medium is equal to [CPMT 1990; MP PMT 1999]

    A) Molecular weight of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]

    B) \[\frac{1}{2}\]´ Molecular weight of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{3}\]´ Molecular weight of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]

    D) \[\frac{1}{5}\]´ Molecular weight of \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\frac{1}{5}\times \text{ molecular }\,\,\text{weigth of }KMn{{O}_{4}}\] as transfer of \[5{{e}^{-}}\] takes place when \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] acts as oxidant in acidic medium. \[2KMn{{O}_{4}}+3{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\to {{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+2MnS{{O}_{4}}+3{{H}_{2}}O\]\[+5O\]
